Cant decide if I should get another covid booster. What about you?

Yes, that is THE question. I don't know any unjabbed person who has caught Covid, but on the other hand every single person I know who has caught it is either double or triple-jabbed. I'm also seeing lots of inoculated people with strange persistent coughs these days, and just not feeling/looking that great.

 

Now there is one big, obvious, difficult question here that nobody is asking but I suspect everybody is thinking it one way or another.

 

What if…

 

The truth WILL come out, pretty soon if I had a guess.

I suppose you never had a Polio jab and never caught it either...????

I've had 2 Pfizer shots followed by a Moderna booster in May.

So you think a yearly booster after that is more beneficial rather than 6 months?

It's an individual decision.

I have had Sinovac and Astra Zeneca, COVID after that. Then Pfizer as a booster. I intend to get a Moderna next year, or a more up to date vaccine as they become available. Flu mutates from year to year, COVID is the same.

I don't always subscribe to the notion more is better.

Just encountered this which I had not heard before:

 

"New research finds that with each repeat COVID infection – even asymptomatic infection – your risk for complications increases. These include:

stroke

heart attack

diabetes

digestive and kidney disorders

long-term cognitive impairment, including dementia

Each reinfection also carries with it the risk of long COVID or ongoing COVID symptoms that can last for weeks or months after infection."

 

https://health.ucdavis.edu/coronavirus/covid-19-information/omicron-variant

 

Though as others have said it isn't clear that boosters prevent infection especially asymptomatic infection.

I live in the US and I don't know about boosters, but mask wearing has not gone away here.

i do not know if Aseannow will allow this recent data (vaers)  and latest information from the

CDC .     I find it really shocking...... but, if deemed not from a "reliable source"  then go ahead and delete it.   I surely would not want to break any rules

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/cdc-quarantine-distancing-covid-vaccine-injuries-vaers/

 

can this information really be labelled as disinformation ?    Just read the facts given  (vaers report and CDC info )   ......

no need to read other "comments" ....

just make your own judgements   ????

No vaccine has a perfect safety record. Having said that, the vanishingly small number of deaths that MIGHT have been partly caused by vaccination, and trumpeted in social media as if Armageddon has arrived, pale into insignificance against the millions who have been protected from death or serious incapacitation.

 

One doesn't get to choose with science. People that accept the good bits, such as smartphones and travel in aircraft, are irrational when they reject what they think are the bad bits, such as vaccination and climate change.

Very enlightening, thank you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Health_Defense

VAERS is a voluntary health reporting system on vaccine adverse reactions, it can hardly be taken as objective data. That requires peer review, the stuff responsible scientists and medicos do. An aching arm for a couple of days would be reported as an adverse event, and VAERS would count all deaths with co-morbidities as caused by vaccination.

How many people have been saved from death or incapacitation? Those numbers are

totally ignored by conspiracy theorists, with their focus on anything adverse about vaccination. Or fluoride, or climate change.

I wish I had fluoride given to me as a child. It would have denied a succession of dentists a gold mine.

[notrub]

I just had my 5th vaccine.  I have never had any bad side effects from the shots.  I have seen on youtube channels of people I trust that the efficacy of these vaccines wear off more quickly with all the new variants floating around now.  A friend was told about a pfizer product taken orally (as a cure?).  Don't know anything about it but here is a picture of the box.  It is apparently available in Thailand.

[rumak]

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today released new data showing a total of 1,379,438 reports of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccines were submitted between Dec. 14, 2020, and Aug. 5, 2022, to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). That’s an increase of 7,964 adverse events over the previous week.

VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.

The data included a total of 30,162 reports of deaths — an increase of 181 over the previous week — and 251,075 serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period — up 1,959 compared with the previous week.

Of the 30,162 reported deaths, 19,462 cases are attributed to Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, 8,038 cases to Moderna, 2,613 cases to Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and no cases yet reported for Novavax.

Excluding “foreign reports” to VAERS, 854,084 adverse events, including 13,972 deaths and 87,488 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. between Dec. 14, 2020, and Aug. 5, 2022."

 

 

after 2 plus years it seems very hard to comprehend why there is any question at all about the

"vaccines"  ( which obviously are not vaccines in reality.   changing definitions , changing safe and effective,  changing  you won't get covid,  changing the narrative )

And still some fight tooth and nail so as not to be wrong.    I applaud this website for allowing the other side to express opinions.

this old record.... 

 

VAERS is something any layman can contribute to, there is no scientific basis in the numbers. 

You can have the vaccine, have a headache and report it as an adverse reaction on VAERS.

 

As such, I had a sore arm, the same innate immune response to the vaccine that the vast majority had, I also had a mild temperature and felt feverish - as did most people. 

 

Then there are the deaths reported in VAERS...  ... Doreen, overweight, unhealthy, has a heart-attack and dies... heart-attack caused by her poor health. She had the vaccine 3 days before hand, loved ones blame the vaccine, file a VAERS report.....

 

Another example: in the 2017, on average 92,500 died each month.... in 2021 and 2022 many of those who make up the average monthly death statistics will have recently had a vaccine....   is the vaccine to blame for those deaths, or is the vaccine merely coincidental ????

 

 

Rumac - IF you are using VAERS reports to discredit the vaccine you have lost any credibility of your argument... there is enough information out there regarding the flaws of the VAERS system.

 

 

As someone who wishes to hold and intelligent debate on this subject you should be avoiding such flawed examples:

Climate change is real, but there's nothing any government can do to alter its effects. 

 

Gravity is not just a theory, actually it is just a theory as it doesn't hold up with distant objects. (if it did we wouldn't need MOND or dark matter discussions). 

 

Back on topic, they fooled me when they said I would need COVID vaccine to go shopping, they won't be fooling me again with monthly boosters.

COVID vaccines work in terms of reducing ICU admissions, deaths, and the incidence of long COVID. The data is there for everyone to see.

 

Gravity works very well as a reality if one tries stepping off the balcony of a fourteenth floor condo anywhere in Thailand.

 

I agree frequent boosters are unnecessary, which is why my next one is in February 2023.

Yes, there have been cases of vaccine-induced polio.

 

Comparing the Covid and Polio shots is irrelevant though as their makeup is completely different.

So the underlying rationale here is you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. That's fine as long as nobody is coerced into taking the risk of being one of the broken eggs, or told only one in a zillion eggs will be broken before the omelette is actually made. I think this has been the fundamental issue all along. Actually there is a term for that: informed consent.

Every operation I had in the UK required my signature because of risk...

An incurable disease I had (now in remission) was controlled by medication, my consultant told me there was a drug which would be of great help, but, it has a mortality risk. A drug for those where it was worth the risk.

So I skipped that one....????

Whenever we become unwell and a ‘viral fight’ ensues in our body, our body becomes enflamed... thats the achey feeling we get...  this also happens in the heart to some extent. 

 

All type of infection can lead to myocarditis... i.e. bacteria, fungus or parasites can lead to myocardial inflammation

Look up 'Influenza-myocarditis’... 

 

Thus, the singling out of the Covid vaccines as causing myocarditis while avoiding the conversation that many things that can cause the condition is to present an extremely unbalanced and bias view point.

 

Look up Influenza-myocarditis...  or Covid Myocarditis....  or Alcohol related... and especially smoking....

 

 

Why is it some, or perhaps many of those who are anti-covid vaccine perfectly fine with drinking alcohol ???

I know 3 people who developed myocarditis after the Covid jab, all young and healthy, they were given medical exemptions from taking any more as the correlation with the jab was established by doctors. One of them is an 18 year-old who is still struggling 10 months on (his parents are very distressed as they encouraged him to do it), another one is a thirty year-old who was hospitalized several times and felt horrible pains for weeks on end. All of them feel angry and betrayed for not having been warned of the risks.

 

These are empirical observations, i.e. reality, all the rest is just BS.
